A realistic, intimate close- up of the last cyborg animals—a once- fluffy black cat and a once- soft, clumsy dog—resting in the dust of a barren desert. Their synthetic fur is worn thin, revealing rusted mechanical joints, brittle wiring, and faded circuitry beneath. The cat’s round, glassy eyes flicker weakly, its whiskers—half organic, half frayed metal strands—catching in the dry wind. The dog’s static- ridden ears twitch slightly, its artificial pupils reflecting the pale, washed- out sun hanging in the hazy sky. Scattered around them, the cracked earth bears the first fragile signs of spring—delicate, struggling shoots of green pushing through the dust, their roots reaching desperately for water that no longer exists.
